Solution:
How can I get Spotfire S+ for my computer?
Students who wish to install Spotfire S+ on their personal computers can download the software at \\files\Licensed\Products\Tibco. There is no charge for the program. The Spotfire S+ license automatically expires at the end of one year so you will need to renew the license each year, while you are a student.

Departments may also obtain Spotfire S+ from Software Sales. Departments who install Spotfire S+ on University-owned computers are charged $100 per year for the license. Please see kb.princeton.edu/8388 for information on how to buy software from Software Sales.

Spotfire S+ is not available for the Macintosh. Macintosh users may use Spotfire S+ on OIT's hats server as well as on the 64-bit server sixtyfour. Please see kb.princeton.edu/9682 for details on 64-bit Unix computing.

How can I access Spotfire S+ on an OIT server?
Spotfire S+ can be accessed by running the command:

on any of the hats cluster servers, and on the 64-bit Linux general use servers lxiv.Princeton.EDU and sixtyfour.Princeton.EDU.
